Gir now uses analyzed objects to generate documentation, and to know
exactly what is available. Additionally, this allows more bindings to
be generated.
This version adds a `--strip-docs` flag to `generator.py`, used in
conjunction with `--strip-docs --embed-docs` to clean documentation
first before re-embedding it (otherwise the same text would show up
multiple times). It is also used in the CI to check that no
documentation disappears on stripping, ie. all documentation is properly
annotated with `// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next`.
The generator does not read Gir.toml from dependencies, missing out on
trait renames like `ObjectExt` turning into GstObjectExt` (to prevent
clashes with `glib`'s `ObjectExt`). Renaming through `trait_name` is
now taken into account in `gir` thanks to [1], but the renames still
need to be availble to all crates referencing this type. Fortunately
only `Gst.Object` is affected - other renamed traits are not extended in
any of the other crates.

For cleanliness the prelude module only needs to reexport preludes from
direct, "top-most" crates, which themselves take care of reexporting
preludes from its dependencies again. This shaves off some code while
maintaining the same set of exports.
In gir it was brought up [1] that some traits (in particular
`*ExtManual`) are exported from the crate root in addition to the
prelude, cluttering the environment unnecessarily. This commit removes
all these reexports, leaving those in prelude (that were already there)
only.
After this commit everything matching `Ext(Manual)?\b` in `lib.rs` sits
within `pub mod prelude {};`.

The `lgpl-docs` and documentation embedding step is now solely invoked
from `./gir/generator.py` in the CI, and does not need the embed/purge
build features anymore.
The generator is now solely in charge of the output path. Besides, only
few crates were inconsistently defining this path while the rest was
leaving it up to a default or the path specified on the cmdline.
The `lgpl-docs` crate and all precompiled (easy to get outdated!)
docmentation files are removed in favour of being generated at runtime
by the improved generator, both during local development as well as in
the CI.
